HCEP.15
Corneal Epithelium Progenitors, Single Donor
Normal human corneal progenitor cells, cryo preserved at P2. Primary cells supplied with one 500 mL kit of medium (basal medium with frozen supplements).
This material is of human origin and should therefore be handled as hazardous. Although it has been tested negative for HIV 1, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, treat this material as potentially infectious, and use appropriate biocontainment, protective equipment and other precautions to prevent accidental exposure.
